WHO WE ARE
National Law Institute (NLI) is an accredited provider of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) in New York, New Jersey, and California (with more states being added soon). NLI produces and distributes hundreds of hours of live, video, and online CLE classes that are attended, viewed, and taken by a growing base of tens of thousands of lawyers and other professionals in the New York metropolitan area and around the country.
HISTORY
NLI began in 2006 as MarcIsrael.com, named after NLI’s founder, CEO, and Co-Chairman, Marc Israel, an experienced real estate attorney turned title insurance executive. The program began with just two Real Estate CLE classes given by Marc himself to his colleagues in the field. Initially approved for CLE credit on a case by case (class by class) basis, by 2008, Marc received blanket accreditation and recognition as an Educational Institution by the New York CLE Board, and formed the New York Institute for Continuing Education (but continued doing business as MarcIsrael.com). In 2013, Marc joined forces with NLI Co-Chairman Robert Schechter, a venture capitalist and M&A lawyer, to form NLI and rebrand MarcIsrael.com to reflect the growing scope of its business. That same year, Marc’s company became accredited in New Jersey as well as New York, and changed its name to the National Law Institute.
